Off the top of my head it feels like it's a day or two before the semi, so it could be anytime. We go to the Final every year anyway and have bought from the RFL again to save the hassle. Wigan or Leigh have the Stretford end. If Leigh win on Saturday, I'm off down to Leigh market for a Leopard print tank top ready for the final! It should be a cracking final this year, regardless of which two sides make it.

We are literally a day or two before the semi final, I just hope isn't not going to be one of those situations where they go straight on release after the game has finished, so those at the game on Saturday will not really know about it until later on, but thanks for the info NK, it should be a good and hopefully well attended final this year.

Yeah that's what I mean, it's usually a day or two before the semi, so it should be due. Hopefully the ticket site can cope if we do win on Saturday. The RFL has said it's pretty much guaranteed to be the biggest final crowd in 7 or 8 years. All the clubs left will take a good support.

There are no season ticket holders included in this game so any tickets sold are actual tickets, unless you are maybe referring to freebies that may not turn up but not sure if they can do that for the play off games

Yes, fair enough. A perennial complaint, tacked onto the wrong game, arguably.

Leigh love to hate us and we love to act as though they're irrelevant sometimes but it's been a breath of fresh air having them back in Superleague and doing well. Give me tomorrow and the home and away games we've had against them any day over a trip to Huddersfield, Wakey etc.

Please Wigan though, don't lose this one I live in Atherton and have family and friends from Leigh.

I feel your pain
The WhatsApps this week between Family Members has been very interesting
in fact your post highlighting Lams press conference kicked off a belter of a discussion

Looks like the crowd is going to sail past 20k - what a great effort. Not a knock but I imagine its been a few decades since Leigh played in front of a crowd this big.

Glad to be of service

It's always nice to throw a grenade in when it's the week of a big game. I'm a man who always thinks about law of averages and they say Leigh beat us at some point but it can't be this week, it just can't! The thought of being in a sea of Leopard print at Old Trafford next week terrifies me, especially on the back of a week of pi*s taking.
